5 Stories From The Bible About Finding A Wife

Here are 5 short stories from the Bible about finding a wife.

The Favor of God – Proverbs 18

Speaking for myself, I believe I married up!  Or, I was blessed with more than I deserve in having a godly wife, so I’m the first to agree that “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord” (Proverbs 18:22). It was God’s goodness that led me to her, but God’s hand was at work all along.  I found “favor from the Lord” when I found her.

More precious than Jewels – Proverbs 31

Solomon didn’t have any trouble finding a wife…now finding an excellent one may have been another matter.  Perhaps out of all of the women he knew, he could ask from experience, “An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewel” (Proverbs 31:10).  She can be found, and she is more precious than many jewels, but who can find her?  God can help.

True Riches – Proverbs 19

Some of the saddest people on earth are the very richest people on earth.  Since they could have anything they want, why do they suffer from more depression than the average citizen?  Maybe they’ve not discovered the fact that “House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD”  (Proverbs 19:14).  Money cannot buy you love, so only a “prudent wife is from the LORD.”

A Helper – Genesis 2

Women are co-equal with men before God and co-equal as heirs in the Lord, so a man and a woman complement one another, and when the two become one flesh, there are no longer two but one.  Marriage is a great mystery, so men ought to thank God that “the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him” (Genesis 2:18).  I confess that I could not do half of what I do without my wife. She is just as much a part of this ministry as I am.  She is a helper just fit for me.

The Husband’s Crown – Proverbs 12

Solomon wrote that “An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones” (Proverbs 12:4).  Solomon wasn’t saying that man is superior to the wife as if wearing her like a crown, but she can be part of a man’s crowning achievements since he could not have achieved them without her.

Final Words of Wisdom

The best advice is to pray and to seek counsel before you marry.  That increases the chances of finding a good and godly wife or a good and godly husband.
